*''Established: [[1234]]''
*''Japanese'': 知恩院 ''(Chion-in)''
Chion-in, in Kyoto, is the head temple of the [[Pure Land Sect]] of Buddhism. The main gate of the temple is the largest in the country of that particular type or style.
Originally founded in [[1234]], the entire compound was rebuilt in the 1630s, under the patronage of Shogun [[Tokugawa Iemitsu]]. The hollyhock crest of the [[Tokugawa clan]] can be seen on the ends of many of the roofbeams.
